释义 | Today I continue to look for happiness. In this article author concluded that four traits are typical of happy people. I don’t know the “trait” meaning, but from the sentence I guessing the “characteristic” is the meaning of the word. I think the meaning of “prejudiced” is “biased”. The author said “Happy people believe themselves to be more ethical, more intelligent, less prejudiced, and so no”. I don’t think so. When I read “blessed is he who expects nothing, for he should never be disappointed”. I think we could understand it like this “he is blessed who expects nothing, for he should never be disappointed”. In the tenth paragraph, there are several new words for me. The first is “extroverted”, I look it up, and the meaning of the word is “sociable”. The second is “serenity”. In the “New College English” it is translated into “calmness” and “tranquility”. The third is “contemplative”, I also know the meaning is “deeply thoughtful in a serious and quiet way” from “New College English” From the sentence meaning I know “rural” is opposite of “metropolitan”. The meaning of the “rural” is “countryside”, so I could I translate the “metropolitan” into “city”. |
